Want to make more money? You have two options:
A) Whine to your Facebook friends, hairdresser and husband. And keep getting paid the same amount.
B) Gain skills or education that will help you get promoted or change careers.
Yes, A is easy — but B is far more effective.
And thanks to LinkedIn’s Week of Learning, which means FREE online courses for all, you have no more excuses.
So which skills are employers looking for?
LinkedIn analyzed all the recruiting activity that occurred on the platform since January 2016 — here are the results.

So, if you want to increase your income or futureproof your career, it’s time to get with the program(ming) — and up your technical skills.
One easy way? Take an online course.
LinkedIn Learning offers more than 5,000 courses, and they’re all free from now until Oct. 30.

Because learning beats whining. Every time.
